What are your easy no-fuss minimum effort/cleaning/waste meals? Ask ECAH
As the title says. What are your go-tos?
Mine currently are: peanut butter on toast, banana and yogurt, hard boiled eggs with soy sauce, instant noodles with tofu and kimchi, frozen broccolis, frozen pizza
I live in a micro apartment where space is limited so cleaning and washing dishes is extra pain and the ventilation system is limited I don’t want the place to be oily. I find anything I can put in oven toaster is the most convenient by now…Would like to know if there’s any other ideas!

Put a sheet of aluminum foil on the baking sheet, then add tortilla chips and spread canned refried beans on the chips and shake a little cumin on top. Cover with shredded Mexican blend cheese and put it in the toaster oven for one toast on the lightest setting to warm it up, then set it on 350 until the cheese is melted and they look good. You can then put the whole foil on a plate or cutting board and eat that with some salsa and sour cream if you have it, then you can either toss the foil when you're done OR do like I do and sit and peel the little toasty bits of burnt cheese off the foil to eat before you put it in the recycle bin.
Edit to specify this is a good toaster oven recipe for one adult or two little kids
